We returned yesterday after spending the final week of our 12-day trip to Portugal at this lovely apartment in Peniche.

From the minute we arrived, we knew we'd found the perfect spot for our Peniche getaway. We (my partner and 5 year-old daughter) were visiting the area as keen surfers looking to take in the fabulous beaches of Peniche, at the same time as catching the WSL Moche Ripcurl Pro comp which was being help a 6 minute drive away from the apartment.

The apartment is spacious, clean and extremely well equipped. We had ample room for the three of us and the layout was ideal with the open plan kitchen / living room area, two generous bedrooms and bathroom. We had worried it might be a little small from the pictures but this was not the case at all.

The facilities on site completely surpassed our expectations with the lovely swimming pool, several communal sitting, lounging, dining areas and the sauna (bonus!) The apartment is situated in a really peaceful spot (we felt completely safe and secure the whole time) with several views of the sea from the rooftop areas. There are plenty of local shops and restaurants (brilliant local butcher), plus the offering of Peniche and Baleal just a short drive down the road.

We couldn't believe how close we were to the WSL comp site too. We were able to watch the call on Dawn Patrol and then either make our way over to the site if it was on, or carry on with our own beach fun on the lay days.

The whole process, from booking and arriving through to our departure was hitch free. Niki ensured that the apartment was ready for our early afternoon arrival, despite the previous guests only leaving at midday.

Niki and Cei were really welcoming and helped us to find our bearings, the best restaurants and surf spots. They were extremely patient with our 5 year-old daughter too who can be quite the chatterbox!

We stayed in Rincon a few weeks ago. The apartment was lovely, spotlessly clean. The area is very quiet and peaceful. Surrounded by farmland. We didn't have a car and managed to get around with the help of Cei and the local bus service a 5 minute walk away into Peniche. The local bakery is so cheap I was sure I was charged incorrectly! We didn't really use the local beach and instead opted for Consolacao which has a few beach cafe/restaurants and gorgeous golden sandy beach. I would recommend eating in Club de Praia. Excellent food, very good value and the staff speak some English.

Cei and Niki are wonderful hosts and answered any questions we had. They are so obliging and would drop or collect if they were free and we needed to go to the supermarket. Thanks guys for a wonderful holiday.

We really appreciated the location of the house, which is close to many beautiful beaches, which are very convenient for surfing. Moreover Niki and Cei were very kind, provided to us all what we needed (for example a bed and a chair for our baby), and they really gave us good advice to visit the area and enjoy our stay. It was a great week, thank you !!

Just back from an amazing week staying in rincon apartment for my wife's 40th birthday celebrations we arrived home last night and wanted to immediately tell you all what a great place this is..niki and cei were great hosts we had everything we needed including surf hire, Mario knows his stuff. There is shops in the small village just down the road and perfect 180 degree sea views from the apartment. I would suggest car hire tho there is a bus from Lisbon to outside the apartments as most things are a quick 10 minute drive away. Couldn't fault the place it was lovely and we can't wait to go back in October with our children this time also go to the Buddha eden vineyards well worth a visit and you can also buy their wine
thank you for having us Niki and cei see you in october

Me and my girlfriend stayed here on a recent holiday/surf trip. The couple who run the apartments live downstairs and are always there for friendly advice, tips on where to eat and directions which is really helpfull. The apartment was large and cozy with TV and DVD player for the nights you want to stay in. Amazing views from the balcony and the pool was awesome for days where we just wanted to relax in the sun! I would not hesitate to stay here again and am sure we will be back in the future!

We took our 6 and 8 year old boys to this property and how they loved it. The swimming pool was excellent as was all the beach equipment provided for free (spades, body board, etc.). Our hosts couldn't have been any more helpful - Niki was even called upon to translate when we had issues with our hire car. We also loved all the places to relax around the apartment, For us, the best place was the view from the terrace in the evening - great sunsets. For the boys, it was around the pool or in the hammock. A great holiday.
